What are medical services in Thailand like?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Thailand, they replied...
"As noted, I do not have health insurance because the cost of walk-in care is unbelievably cheap. Additionally, most doctors, particularly at hospitals, are western-trained, so the level of service is just as good as the States," remarked another expat who made the move to Chiang Mai, Thailand.
"Medical services in Thailand are generally of a high quality, with many hospitals and clinics offering a wide range of treatments and services. The country has a well-developed healthcare system, with both public and private hospitals and clinics providing a range of services from general medical care to specialist treatments. Many of the larger hospitals are equipped with modern medical technology and offer a range of services from general check-ups to complex surgeries. In addition, there are a number of private clinics and medical centers that offer a variety of treatments and services. The cost of medical care in Thailand is generally lower than in many other countries, making it an attractive option for those seeking medical treatment," explained one expat living in Thailand.
